“…A particularly vulnerable group are children, some of who may have been assessed for learning difficulties, deteriorating school performance, low self-esteem, behavioral and emotional problems, antisocial behavior, psychosomatic symptoms, depression and other symptoms that often reveal the problems of unemployed parents experience (Chinnock, 1984;Choudry, 1986;Christoffersen, 1994;Garfinkel et al, 1982;Kaltiala-Heino, Rimpela, Rantanen, & Laippala, 2001). Involuntary unemployment often leads to changes and a deterioration in parenting (Hu et al, 2010;Christoffersen, 2000).…”

A retrospective ELSPAC study (N = 2756) compared three groups of mothers of three-year-old children: 1) employed, 2) voluntarily unemployed, and 3) involuntarily unemployed, about the quality of their partnership and family relationships. The results show that the involuntarily unemployed mothers have the lowest quality of family life. In these families there is more conflict, disagreement and hostile communication towards the woman and child. Employed mothers also experience some family problems. Overall, those most satisfied with their family lives are the voluntarily unemployed mothers. There is more positive communication between partners, including sharing and intimacy in this group. The results were interpreted as stemming from the distress caused by involuntary unemployment, the double burden of the female role and gender role models in the family.

Effects of Unemployment on Mental Health in the Contemporary Family

This article summarizes research conducted in the past 20 years concerning mental health effects of involuntary job loss. The majority of studies and previous reviews focus on unemployment effects on men. Although these studies are also reviewed, this article highlights studies of (a) the involuntarily unemployed woman, (b) the spouse of the unemployed person, and (c) their children. Within each of these research areas, the authors consider studies grouped according to their methodological strength for drawing causal inferences about the impact of job loss on psychological status, ranging from cross-sectional to longitudinal to prospective studies. The implications of the unemployment literature not only for future research but also for clinical practice are addressed. Knowledge of family effects of this stressful life circumstance is critical to developing effective treatment plans for patients who, although perhaps not the direct victims of job loss themselves, may nevertheless present with problems indirectly caused or exacerbated by unemployment within the family.
